It was agreed that the field is one of the best numerically and in point of class that has ever contested for the rich prize. It is also regarded as a very open affair and the unique distinction of being favorite may be accorded to a three-year-old, Peter Pan, which is carrying the highest weight, 115 pounds, ever imposed on a horse of his age In a race of this character.

The richest handicap of the American turf Will be run at Brighton Reach this afternoon and will attract a tremendous concourse of spectators to the homely old course by the sea. Speculation as to the outcome is rife as usual in such cases, and the fact that Mr. Keene seems to have decided to start Peter Pan, adds to the excitement of the occasion. Peter Pan lias a heroic task cut out for him, but lie is a grand colt and may prove equal to the exigencies of the occasion. By the scale of weights for age lie is set to concede weight to each other horse in the race, the concession ranging from eight pounds to twenty-six. He is unquestionably the fastest horse in the race, but it will be run at a killing pace, and the great disparity in burdens carried may tell disastrously in his case. Recent running iudicates that every horse named to start is cherry ripe and almost any one of them should win without any ground for demurring protests. The table here presented gives the best races of those named to start, at a mile and a quarter, or the nearest to It possible, in 1005 and 1907., together with the weights carried and the time scored. 1900. 1907.
